An exclusive authorities monopoly on liquor sales is 1 of the peculiar features of life inward Ontario. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 holdover from the early on 20th-century post-prohibition days, the continued existence of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (quite the bureaucratic-sounding name) is an representative of the lobbying ability of populace service unions likewise every bit a continual reminder that our provincial authorities all the same doesn't actually quite trust us. It has been quite a few years since vino too liquor was stored behind a unopen wall too customers had to write their gild on a skid of newspaper inward a bare Soviet-style room too conduct it delivered to them inward brownish package newspaper from behind a counter, but fifty-fifty instantly locations are few too far-between fifty-fifty inward cities, too plastic bags conduct been discontinued; yes, half-a-dozen vino bottles larn seat inward a handle-less newspaper bag, unless you lot convey your ain handbag or select a box instead. So much for the client ever comes commencement philosophy.
Still, the Board has kept upward amongst modern marketing trends too instantly the LCBO (yes, a user-friendly acronym) has turned itself into a snazzy, upscale build amongst fancy furnishings too funky in-store signage. One of the best things to come upward out of this marketing consciousness is the LCBO's quarterly Food too Drink Magazine, an attractive too glossy high-production Martha Stewart Living-type giveaway featuring dozens of beautiful gourmet recipes inward every issue.
So I was intrigued correct away past times the odd combination of flavors inward this salad from an quondam Food too Drink Magazine too posted past times 1 of my favorite nutrient bloggers, Ricki from Diet, Dessert too Dogs. Grapefruit, olives too radishes sounded similar such disparate tastes that I never would conduct idea of putting them together myself, but given the reputation of both Ricki too the periodical I knew that it had to live worth a try.
Like too therefore many other interesting suggestions the recipe ended upward beingness bookmarked for a long time, but it finally got made amongst colorful too delicious results. As the odd ingredients suggest, the overall number is hard to push clitoris … Ricki calls the results "tart, salty, peppery, juicy," to which I tin exactly add together "fresh," "tangy," too "bizarrely appealing."
This salad is best eaten inward 1 sitting every bit it volition plow to liquid-y mush later exactly a curt fourth dimension … but finishing it off inward 1 dinner didn't attempt out to live whatever work at all! If you're ambitious too finicky, a to a greater extent than appealing too tantalizing final result tin live had past times peeling the membrane off each of the grapefruit sections, but I'm afraid that I'm non the form of daughter to become to that form of problem except inward extraordinary circumstances!
